As a prelude to the highly-anticipated 6th annual Geeks On A Beach
(GOAB) conference, an exclusive Investor's Roundtable Dinner is set to
take place on November 22, 2023, at the Bellevue Resort Hotel in
Panglao, Bohol. This intimate gathering provides a unique platform for
private discussions about investment topics relevant to the region and
beyond.
The dinner, themed "By Investors, For Investors," aims to
foster a constructive dialogue among participants on a variety of
subjects, including investment opportunities, valuations in the ASEAN
ecosystem, and the creation of a robust investor community.
With
the presence of prominent figures from the investment sector, such as
venture capitalists (VCs) and angel investors, the night ensures
insightful exchange and networking. VCs are professional investors who
inject substantial funds into high-growth tech startups for equity and a
role in governance. Angel investors, on the other hand, are affluent
individuals who provide earlier, often smaller-scale investments in
exchange for equity or convertible debt, offering financial backing when
the venture is at a more nascent and riskier stage.
The event
boasts an impressive roster of attendees, including esteemed speakers,
entrepreneurs, and investors from across the globe, such as Chris
McCann, Race Capital (USA); Franco Varona, Foxmont Capital Partners
(PH); Paulo Campos, Kaya Founders (PH); Katrina Rausa Chan,
QBO/IdeaSpace Philippines (PH); Jeremy Au, Monk's Hill Ventures (SG);
Pun Jaruthassanakul, Seedstars (TH); Jojo Flores Plug and Play Tech
Center (US, PH); Adriel Yong, Ascend Angels (SG); Mohan Belani, e27
(SG); Orvel Ventures (SG); Jay Fajardo, Launchgarage (PH); Mark Sng,
Gentree (SG, PH); Sohun Bae, AVV Ascend Vietnam Ventures (VN); Joon Cho,
Abound Capital (SG); Martin Cu, 500 Global (PH + WW); Kickstart
Ventures (PH); Patricia Sosrodjojo, Seedstars (TH); and Joseph de Leon,
Manila Angels Investor Network (PH).
The evening will feature a
presentation on the Philippine Venture Capital Report by Franco Varona
of Foxmont Capital Partners and an open facilitated discussion led by
industry veterans.
